Places I Remember with Lea Lane09/12/23 • 20 min
Step into the RV on a cross-America adventure, with guest Alexa Rossy, spirited author of Showering with the Alligators. We'll travel from the spiritual vortex of Sedona to the Rubber Duck Derby in Aspen; from the mermaids of Weeki Wachee Springs, to a life-size Noah's Ark in Kentucky.
We'll navigate through a beauty pageant at North Carolina's rhododendron festival and the high-energy roller derby scene, explore the biker culture of South Dakota, visit the LBJ Ranch in Texas, and marvel at the majestic canyons of Utah.
Alexa caps these zany, fun examples of Americana remembering a whimsical encounter in a Miami shoe store, showing how people we meet during our travels leave indelible marks on our hearts and minds.
